Hi,
I want to know what exactly is the difference between the options --call and --aetitle of the command echoscu? The man pages say :
-aet --aetitle aetitle: string
set my calling AE title (default: ECHOSCU)
-aec --call aetitle: string
set called AE title of peer (default: ANY-SCP)
But I am not very clear on what is meant by setting my called AE Title and setting called AE Title.
I am new to DCMTK any any kind of explanation on this would be helpful.
Thanks,
Jyoti

When opening a network connection, the application that initiates the connection transmits two symbolic names to the remote system:
- The Calling Application Entitity Title identifies the client application itself. DICOM does not attach a specific meaning to this symbolic name (except that it uniquely identifies one system in the context of one network), but many systems will use this for a kind of access control: Only known "clients" are allowed to open DICOM associations at all.
- The Called Application Entity Title identifies the server to which the connection is initiated. Most servers will refuse connections if they are not called with "their" own symbolic name. Again, this is implementation specific behaviour and other servers (such as storescp) will simply ignore both aetitles.
